Posted by Slobokan @ 21:06 · 201 words · print
Caldwell Fresh Foods of Maywood, Calif., is voluntarily recalling all of its alfalfa sprouts marketed under the Caldwell Fresh Foods, Nature’s Choice, and California Exotics brands. The firm’s alfalfa sprouts have been linked to an outbreak of Salmonella Newport infections in consumers in ten states. As of May 20 and since March 1, 2010, a total of 22 cases of Salmonella Newport infections have been confirmed in Arizona (1), California (11), Colorado (1), Idaho (1), Illinois (1), Missouri (1), New Mexico (1), Nevada (2), Oregon (1), and Wisconsin (2). Six of the cases have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.
Great. I just ate sprouts last week. I wonder if that's why I got a belly ache. Then again, I am not in one of the recall locations, so who knows. Once again I am in the wrong place at the right time. The same thing happens with my job search. There are tech jobs in philly area, and a few around here, but none for me. Yet. Boo.

I just thought you might want to know before you order that next sandwich with sprouts on it.
